That's a neat shot! Love the light and the textures. Bummer on the cat taking him out.

thanks mrova, yeah... bummer all right. I am thankful that it seems the cats only get three or four a year or so (that I can tell) and our windows probably get a similar amount. Feel rotten every time I see it.

Hi Muddyvalley, no, it didn't even cross my mind. For some reason I really felt badly for the bird and just wanted to get the job done and the bird gone. It is remarkable how light they are and how soft the feathers feel. I don't think I would make a very good hunter, unless starvation was a factor.

Really nice stack. The program you're using did a great job of dealing with the crossed hairs & feathers.

That Zerene makes up for a lot of my foolishness - it downright makes a person lazy.

Good thought. The keratotic thickening of the palpebral canthus suggests a possibility of Cnemidocoptic mites.
Howdja know? (Parasitologist? Wildlife biologist?)

No, but some of my friends are. I just currently have an interest in mites & every time a bird hits one of our windows I take a look. Legs & beak.
